Pat’s record in the championship game is 8-5. Jv, I respect the fact that you’re coming into enemy territory to support your team. But I have to say that you have a tendency, like many LV fans, to look at your team through rose colored glasses. This is a critical time for TN WBB. Despite all her shortcomings, HW and her staff usually recruited well. But the world is changing. SC & MS St have surpassed TN as the top dogs in the SEC. UK, A&M, Mizzou and others have settled in behind. The LV’s lost a bunch of talented players to graduation & transfer. They have some good players left and at least one really good freshman coming in, but I don’t know that there is enough talent on the LV roster to be much better than .500 in conference. Of greater concern to LV nation is the state of recruiting for 2020 and beyond. So far, no top recruits are lined up for 2020. While I’m certain that KJH and her staff will be doing all that they can to rebuild TN WBB, there is a very real possibility that WBB has left TN behind with the also-rans. The Ming Dynasty lasted for 276 years, but dynasties come and dynasties go. UConn may have to face a similar problem once Geno retires. I have to say that from all indications, TN’s time as a perennial powerhouse in WBB appears to be at an end. [/QUOTE]
